Laetitia Guenaou – FW 14-15
It’s all about art in Laetitia Guenaou’s fall and winter collection. The art of the cut, painted and stenciled hair color effects, and beautiful styling of the four hairstyles are fancy and imaginative with some very new tricks.
Whether the hair is curly or sleek, color plays a major role in supporting the shapes, which also include the still-trendy and variable undercuts. Luminous hues on graphic cuts feature the essence of pop art, tattoo, and trompe-l’œil.
Radical Undercut
This cut is so short it could be called an undershave. Her pale skin shines through the minimal golden fuzz underneath the sleek, old-gold top hair. The haircut boasts curved lines and fine graduation throughout, even along the line of the very low side part and the diagonal bangs.
The smaller side is casually tucked behind the ear, revealing a glimpse of the barely-there hair underneath. Just imagine the cool alternative styles possible with a cut like this!
Feathery Motion
Isn’t it amazing how much texture can change the character of a hairstyle—and with that, your entire appearance? Less strict and still featuring the intriguing and edgy undercut, this short golden look thrills with boyish charm and modern feminine elegance. Laetitia Guenaou has succeeded in combining opposites and elevating a short cut to the highest levels of hair art.
Very fine highlights look so natural, as if they were just reflections of light. The trick is to find the perfect tone, just a few steps lighter than the base color.
Stencil Art
Hair color like a dream. These paints dye just the outside of the hair and can be washed out. You might also want to stay still to avoid disrupting the intricate pattern. Shades of royal blue, pastel yellow, and cream sickle orange are sprayed on through a template.
The hair was first treated with a strong smoothing product to create this soft and even canvas. The cut isn’t as important with such a display of real hair art, but it features its own intoxicating details like the long bangs with textured elements and a beautifully graduated neck.
Ray in Bangs
Deck the halls and bring some cozy light into your home. While doing that, also consider a new illumination for your hairstyle to be ready for the holidays. This fluffy look is a dream bob with an enchanted play of hair color. Layers and chin-length make the volume appear almost by itself. With loose styling and some ruffling, it all turns extra soft.
The true finesse comes in with the color, which is a dark copper gently and seamlessly lightened from the center of the fringe to the sides in a shade just a few steps lighter than the original color.
